Write a poem about one or all of the four seasons. (Some ideas for brainstorming: What does the season look, feel, smell like? What memories do you associate with that season?).
The soft wind moves the dead leaves.
They crackle as the wind carries them
Floating along with the breeze.
Bright yellows, reds, and oranges fall off their stem.
The ground is covered, no longer a sheet of green.
Summer has ended, and winter approaches.
But autumn is the wonderful time in between.
Write a poem using three of the following words: expensive, lampshade, bruise, convincing.
It took some convincing,
from the farmers wife.
He doubted her opinion.
about the antique lampshade.
The color was awful, a purplish blue.
It could only make him think of a good old bruise.
"But it's so expensive, and my great grandmothers too!"
She pleaded with him for hours it seemed.
He tried to be stubborn, he wanted it gone.
But all it took was the gleam in her eye,
he knew it was over.
right then and there.
His wife was his lover, partner and friend.
and if all it took was an old lampshade to make her smile.
He thought he'd live with the ugly thing for a while.
Write a poem using all of the following words: smooth, soothe, work, dark.
He had just gotten home from a long day at work.
It was new years eve, he wanted to go out.
But he knew that his wife would go berserk!
He pleaded and finally began to pout.
He didn't think tonight would be the night.
So he smooth talked his way into going out on the town.
He came home exhausted, and expected a fight.
it was late and he expected his wife to put him down.
Instead he found her all tucked up in bed,
he joined her and was asleep before he rested his head.
The next thing he knew he was awoken with a jolt
Something was wrong it was still dark.
"The baby is coming!" it was all it took to cause him to bolt.
To the hospital they rushed, he didn't even park.
In just a few hours in his hands was a crying child.
He soothed her and calmed her as best as he could.
Just then a nurse came in with a smile.
and said to him " She looks just like baby new year should"
